Abstract

This study presents a Critical Multimodal Discourse Analysis of protest signs from London Women’s March 2019. In lieu of the recent abolishment of the tampon tax in the UK, this paper will focus on protest signs with the topics of period poverty and tampon tax. The goal of the paper is to explore the ways in which language and image work together to produce a single communicative act, and how this communicative act then realizes its meaning in the situational and social context. The analysis... More shows that the visual aspect is based on the use of the colour red, and the textual aspect shows a wide range of linguistic creativity. Less
